Our
journey in the commercial cleaning business
begins with the purchase of a ServiceMaster
franchise in Camden County, New Jersey with
a staff of ten employees. Our first
year with the ServiceMaster franchise system,
we were honored with the Eagle Award for
largest dollar volume growth for a new franchise. |
| 1988 |
We continue
our growth with emphases on customer service.
Company reaches mile stone of seventy five
employees. |
| 1989 |
Growth continues and
we move our offices from a home based business
to our new location with a total of 600 square
feet. |
| 1990 |
 Expansion
is explosive! Two new markets were opened
with the purchase of an existing ServiceMaster
Franchise in Cumberland County, New Jersey,
with 40 employees and $300,000.00 in revenue
and opening a new franchise in the center
city Philadelphia.
The company surpasses a million
dollars in revenue and employs one hundred
and twenty five employees. We move again
to larger facilities to accommodate our growth.

our expansion we merge an independent cleaning
contractor into our operation.

one of the top ten franchises in North America
in dollar volume out of more then 3,600 franchises
in ServiceMaster. |

Expansion
is again realized with the purchase of another
existing franchise in Burlington County,
New Jersey. Three years running we are ranked
in the top ten franchises in North America. |
| 1994 |
Expansion and
growth have taken a toll on the company resources
and partnership. The challenges of dividing
the company and reorganizing the structure
of the company become top priority for management.
In years to come this reorganization, with
help from our associates and banking relationships,
propels us to rethink our strategy and control
growth. |
| 1995 |
 We
terminate our relationship with the franchise
system and PINNACLE BUILDING SERVICES was
born. This was a monumental step forward
for our company. The name; “PINNACLE” was
chosen to lead our independence and to achieve
and be at the highest level of service to
our customer and employees.
